Beth
The Starlite Orchestra & Singers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I can't come home right now
Me and the boys are playing
And we just can't find the sound
Just a few more hours
And I'll be right home to you
I think I hear them calling
Beth, what can I do?
You say you feel so empty
That our house just ain't our home
I'm always somewhere else
And you're always there alone
Just a few more hours
And I'll be right home to you
I think I hear them calling
Oh Beth, what can I do?
Beth, what can I do?
Beth, I know you're lonely
And I hope you'll be alright
'Cause me and the boys will be playing all night
The song "Beth" by The Starlite Orchestra & Singers tells the story of a man who is away from his partner, named Beth. He hears her calling him but he can't come home right now because he and his bandmates are playing music, but they can't nail the sound they are looking for. The man knows that Beth feels empty without him around and that their house doesn't feel like a home when he is away. However, he promises that he will be home soon, and that he hears her calling him. The song expresses the tension between a musician's desire to pursue his passion and his responsibility to his partner and relationship.
The melancholic melody of the song pairs perfectly with the lyrics, conveying a sense of longing and regret. The repetition of the name "Beth" throughout the chorus emphasizes the significance of the relationship between the two characters. The song speaks to the universal struggle of balancing personal passion and commitment to a partner or family.

Beth, I hear you calling
I can hear you trying to reach me
But I can't come home right now
I am unable to come back home at the moment
Me and the boys are playing
I am spending time with my friends
And we just can't find the sound
We are struggling to create the music we want
Just a few more hours
It won't be long now
And I'll be right home to you
I will come back to you soon
I think I hear them calling
I believe my friends are calling me
Oh Beth, what can I do?
I am unsure of what to do in this situation
Beth, what can I do?
I am asking for your help
You say you feel so empty
You express feeling lost and alone
That our house just ain't our home
You state that our living space is not a welcoming home
I'm always somewhere else
I am frequently away from home
And you're always there alone
You are often alone in the house
Beth, I know you're lonely
I am aware that you are feeling lonely
And I hope you'll be alright
I wish for you to be okay
'Cause me and the boys will be playing all night
My friends and I will be playing music for a while
